You are Blessed - VI

Matthew 5:8
"You're blessed when you get your inside world—your mind and heart—put right. Then you can see God in the outside world.

Get our hearts right with God, first, and God will open our eyes, to see, and our ears, to hear. Then we will see God working in our everyday life. Some of us open our hearts. but have a harder time with our minds. Others open their minds, and have a hard time with their hearts. God wants your heart and your mind, so you can fully receive His Love and His Blessings. There is freedom in trusting the Lord.

Matthew 5:7
"You're blessed when you care. At the moment of being 'care-full,' you find yourselves cared for.

God taught me an important lesson a year ago. I watched someone who was irrate and upset, turn completely around when she saw a friend in need, and filled the need. She went from being self-consumed to outreaching; from Victim to Care-giver. It was amazing how the shift was immediate. You can not be the Victim and the Care-giver at the same time. Have you ever been around someone that is so draining that you feel drained from just talking to them? They are focusing on being the Victim and on being negative and can steal someone else's joy for the moment.
Focus on being the Care-giver not the Victim and you will be Blessed!

Matthew 5:6 "You're blessed when you've worked up a good appetite for God. He's food and drink in the best meal you'll ever eat.

Don't we all just love food, especially when we are hungry? The Word of God is like that! The more we get a taste of His truth the more we want. Begin to stir up a Spiritual hunger and let God fill you up until you're stuffed. The more and more Spiritually full we become, the more we will spill over on to others. Be Blessed, be a Blessing!!
